SDVOSB Sole-Source Authority

Overview

Federal agencies can streamline acquisition by awarding sole-source contracts to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) when specific conditions are met. This procurement method allows agencies to bypass traditional competition requirements when it's not practicable, while still supporting veteran-owned businesses.

Authorizes sole-source awards to SDVOSBs.
Threshold:

Key Requirement:
Only one SDVOSB is reasonably expected to submit an offer or be capable of performing.
Documentation:
  • No justification required below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
  • Simplified justification required above the SAT.
